FRIDAY. JUNE "a. 1887.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING.
The Sewer System Hitherto Advocated,
Practically Abandoned.
A Warm Discussion.

Aspecial meeting of the city council was
called to order at clock last Thursday
night, vice-P residentJ.W. Hoerr presid-
ing in the absence of Mayor Pau. Alder
men Hoerr, Wood, Alberger, Schroeder,
Parry, Dougherty, Pitcher, Boegen, and
Kron were present. Aldermen Schiman
and Patterson afterwards entered.
An.application for saloon license
was received from Peter Follman.
The city engineer presented profile
of the grade of Rock street between the
Winona & st. Peter and Cannon Valley
railroads, which was adopted.
A profile of the grade of Pearl street
was presented by the city engineer and
was also adopted.
The city engineer reported that the
cost of laying water mains on Center
street from Lincoln and Lewis streets,
would be 81 ,424. No action was taken
looking to the laying of the mains.
THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.
The sewer question was then brought
up and discussed at considerable length.
1t was evident from the first that de-
cided change had come over the coun.
Gil on the question since the meeting a
week ago. The expression of opinion
on the question by our business men,
which was so fully gwen in Tuesdays
FREE Press, was the lever that wrought
this change of position on the part OF
our city fathers. There was not mem
Der of the council who thought that the
proposition to bond the citv for the pur-
pose of laying the sewerage system
hitherto advocated would be carried,
were the people to vote upon it as il
now stands. 1t became apparent, as the
discussion proceeded, that few, if any,
of the aldermen were satisfied with the
system under consideration. The coun-
cilmen were much more interested IN
the discussion of this question last night
than at any previous meeting, and on
one or two occasions the discussion be.
came warm.

with me; have it with me-" the bunco
man replied, and leading Hamilton among
the politicians in the rotunda he ordered a
small bottle.
When Hamilton moved his hand toward
his trousers pocket for his big wallet the
bunco man became positively indignant, in
sisting on paying himself. Hamilton tossed
off the remaining drops of wine and
thought what polite people New York
butchers were
Then they went up town to place Ham

to rhyme with safe
''He just held up his finger" Hamilton
said, in describing his adventures, land the
waiter brought us bottle of wine"
Hamilton had 700 or 800 dollars in his
pockets and told the bunco man about it.
The bunco man ordered a lunch which,
Hamilton says, eatanything he ever tackled
before.
They had several more small bottles, and
finally Hamilton's heart warmed toward the
bunco man and he grew confidential.
He said:
"You're thunderin' good fellow, YOU
are. Why amt you in some decent bust
ness, instead of goin' round tryin' to swindle
poor fellows like me and robbing them of
their money!
Innarrating his adventure Hamilton paused
when he reached this point.
WAS the bunco man surprisedp the re-
porter asked.
''Surprisedw exclaimed Hamilton. Zone
OF Senator Evarts' sentences could not con-
tain more meaning than that one word"
What happened next? Hamilton said he
didn't remember very well. He is not used
to drinking wine, and his recollection is
rather confused; but he thinks there was a
row.
Hamilton looks capable of tackling any
| thing from Sullivan to bull. If there
was row it is just possible that a badly
damaged bunco man is undergoing repairs
somewhere
AS near as Hamilton can figure it, the
bunco man is out about S13 for wine, lunch
and cab hire.
Hamilton shook the dust of the wicked
city from his feet last night and started back
for the innocent West.
The big wallet went with him.
The bunco man was of medium height, 40
years old, with gray hair and cropped gray
whiSkers, and of dignifed bearing and
fluent speech.

PRETTY GIRLS.
Methods to Make Yourself Pretty
When You are Not Born So.

With the very latest notes on fashion be-

self beautiful, and goes on to tell how a
ruddy blonde of Washington fastened her
fat little hands to the headboard on retiring

duce the delicate complexion of an invalid
friend. To allow the mouth to be open in
sleep is simply outrageous, so, as to assure
an avoidance, many dainty miss

head bound with a skate strap.
A narrow pillow placed vertically under
the back and between the shoulders encour-
ages a perfect stature, SO the good old
bolster is consigned to the comfort of retired
bellies and beaus. Designating the fair,
fresh skin, classical mold, and every law
of proportion, and in Difference to an arbi-
trary fashion which cannot but prove fatal
to beauty and health, our wasp-wasted
bellies claim the necessity of slumber corsets

the blood from hands and face.
Every girl knows the value of beauty and
seeks to make herself as attractive as pos
sible, and should strive to preserve all at
tractive qualities; but artificial devices only
can conceal the ravageS of time and dissi-
patton. Still, without true regard to the
laws of health, even the powder box, rouge
palette and pencil prove shallow resource.

This gives a graceful appearance to the

HIS FLY-PAPER RUSE.
A California Lovers Attempt to Pro-
tect His Dulcinea From Fleas.
rom Che San Francisco Wasp.

From the San Francisco Wasp.
1t doesn't always pay to be a benefactor
of ones species in this cold and unappreci-
ative world. There's young Jobson, of Te-
hama street, for instance. Mr.. j. is some
thing of an inventor being the patentee, it
will be remembered, of the ingenious auto
matte collapsing hustle, which is OF so much
advantage to ladies when seated in crowd
ed street car Mr.. j. IS best girl was very
fond of the theatre, pleasure, however, she
was compelled in great measure to forego
on account of her senSitiveness to the sub
terranean attacks, so to speak, of tleas. One
theatre, the California, she was compelled
to shun altogether on this account
Mr.. JobsoD, therefore, turned his in
ventive faculty to the difficulty with great
earnestness, and finally devised an ingenious
remedy. He procured two sheets of ordi-
nary hy-paper, which, after much persua-
sion. he induced his intended to stitch to her
stocking lust above the ankle, sticky side
out. of course Mr. Jobson argued that the
narauding insects would be arrested by this
device at an early stage of their investiga-
tions, to the decided comfort of their in
tended victim. All being prepared, the in
ventor attended the Patti concert that night
with his fiancee, who appeared to enjoy am
unusually pleasant evening until just at the
conclusion of the performance, when n
terrified expression appeared upon her face,
and she became veryre and excited. Her
agitation increased, until finally she con-
fided to her escort that in an unguarded mo-
ment she had crossed her feet and was
unable to separate them again. They had
stuck together!
CHORD by the full orchestra.)
When the audience arose to depart she
was unable TO move, and the unhappy girl
tainted in the inventors arms.
But why longer dwell upon the pathetic
particulars. Suffice it that the miserable
prisoner was finally carried out of the
house by her lover and four ushers, one Of
whom solemnly urged her to swear off
before it was everlastingly too late. She
was then sent home in a flood of tears and
hack, and the next day Jobson received
back his ring and letters, vindictively
wrapped in hy-paper.
Thus it is that the majestic onward march
of science, glorious science, is delayed and
hindered by the stumbling blocks of preju-
dice and ignorance.
